There was a need for a clean, modern starter theme that embraced Gutenberg blocks, used modern build tools, and provided a solid foundation without imposing design opinions.

  • Webpack 5 asset bundling pipeline
  • Full Gutenberg block editor support
  • Custom block patterns and theme.json config
  • Automated deployment scripts
  • WordPress coding standards with modern PHP
